Product Description

The ZWO ASI183MC-Pro is a versatile and highly sensitive color astronomy camera for deep-sky imaging, lunar and solar imaging, and electronically-assisted astronomy (EAA) through a telescope. The camera incorporates a large state-of-the-art 13.2mmx8.8mm CMOS sensor with 20.1 megapixels and high quantum efficiency to help you extract maximum detail in your astrophotos while keeping noise and exposure time as low as possible. The camera also features TEC-cooling to reduce sensor noise for superb performance when imaging faint astronomical objects. The camera includes an internal 256MB DDR3 memory buffer for quick and stable data transfer. The USB3.0 port offers a fast capture rate of 19 frames-per-second at the full resolution of 5496x3672, and much faster rates at lower resolutions. These data rates are perfect for solar and lunar imaging, and they allow for real-time focusing during EAA and imaging applications. This camera is also great for ‘lucky imaging’ of planets, double stars, and other compact objects, especially for telescopes with longer focal lengths. NOTE: This camera is best used with a refractor or reflector telescope mounted on a solid equatorial mount that can accurately track the motion of the sky. It is not intended for taking images through the eyepiece of a telescope. This camera produces color images without the need for additional color filters, but you may require additional accessories such as an autoguider or focal reducer to get the best results. All software and drivers for this camera are available from the manufacturer’s website.

Mid level priced camera that is a great value!

Mid level priced camera that is a great value!
I've owned this camera for almost a year now and have been using it as much as I can as I learn to capture deep space objects. The resolution is great for a scope or lens that can give crisp views. I have been buying equipment a piece at a time as I can afford to. This is by far my favorite purchase. Do yourself a favor and buy a good scope and especially a good mount to take advantage of the specs this camera offers.I'm sold on ZWO at this point and am moving more and more into buying their offerings.If you're stepping up from an old DSLR or a lesser camera this is a great one to test the waters for a little less money before moving onto the bigger cameras.I have zero regrets after a solid year of growing into this little gem.BTW buy the cooled camera! It is more suitable for longer exposures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why do companies do this?
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2022

Do not get me wrong, this is a fantastic camera and a large upgrade from celestrons offering. However, this is more of a scope to use for guiding and taking some photos. If you are wanting to take photos of deep space objects, you need to control temp. This camera will not do this for you, and you will not be happy with the noise it produces on deep space photography.

Do yourself a favor, just get the one with the cooler. Its a bit more, but in the long run you will thank me. Now, I need to return this one as my wife wont let me have both.

If you're stepping up from an old DSLR or a lesser camera this is a great one to test the waters for a little less money before moving onto the bigger cameras.
